Argh! My apologies to everyone. It turns out that the emails I was
having trouble with have two attachments and the second one is the
proper pptx that does open in Impress. What screwed me up was that the
drop-down list only showed the options for the plain text document so I
never noticed that
Interesting: when I send a .pptx from Win7 using Thunderbird the pptx
comes through fine but there's also an 'attachment.dat' that Evolution
sees as a plain text file.
I talked to my colleague who's an Apple expert and he says he never
heard of any problems like that with Apple. And when I Google

Hi,
it looks fine, evolution may read it properly and show a file name, not
attachment.da

I am receiving attachment from (apparently) from microsoft servers
where the attachments are called attachment.dat
and I am unable to view them.
What sort of processing do I need to perform on them
in order to be able to view them?

As I say, other email apps I've used (notably Thunderbird) strip the
markup in the reading pane for messages of content-type text/html . Yes
the output may not be pretty, but it's there and readable, not wrapped
up in an attachment. In the case of Outlook there is an information
of attachments?
It's not an issue of offence as much as it is policy.

wable in the reading pane. Which is more or less
what I'd expect. In this case, as with the message which was
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1", the HTML portion of the
message is readable when viewing source.

Hi,
yes, that's doing it. It couldn't find the text/plain part, and hidden
your text/html part (the only part being in the
ad in a reply. When I view the message source though it is
readable HTML, unlike the UTF-8 message which, as I mentioned, is
getting "binaried".

I just started using Evolution 2.28.1.
Messages I receive from Monster.com come as

The subject is utf-8 encoded also and is interpreted properly, but the
